WAKA Glide - Folding Foil Board

Our shark-inspired nose design incorporates a subtle v-displacement that channels water flow and minimizes surface tension. The refined entry angle and volume distribution optimize acceleration and early planing characteristics, enabling quick takeoffs with minimal input. This sophisticated geometry also reduces pitch in choppy conditions.

The tail design transitions from a stable, flatter center surface that provides essential user stability into a progressive taper that culminates in a refined pin tail. This sophisticated geometry efficiently reduces wetted surface area and minimizes drag. As the board generates lift, the precision-engineered pin tail ensures clean release from surface tension, enhancing overall efficiency and control during powered riding.

The carefully engineered rocker curve represents the perfect balance between glide efficiency and maneuverability. A moderate entry rocker transitions smoothly to an optimized center curve, providing exceptional momentum generation and fluid re-entry characteristics. This refined profile delivers consistent performance across all riding conditions.

Elegantly sculpted side scoops showcase our commitment to integrated design. These signature channels provide both access to the precision titanium bolt system and ergonomic carry points for comfortable transport. Perfect for under-arm carrying or as grab rails for water mounting, they combine sophisticated aesthetics with practical functionality.

Our center handle represents a fundamental rethinking of board design integration. Unlike conventional plastic inserts, this thoughtfully sculpted recess features continuous carbon fiber construction that flows seamlessly into the board's surface. The sophisticated geometry incorporates a hydrodynamic ramp for clean water release while providing access to the central titanium locking mechanism. It's precision engineering where function, performance, and aesthetics converge.

Our premium EVA deck pad features a sophisticated flat corduroy finish that sits perfectly flush with the board surface. The carefully selected material delivers exceptional grip while maintaining comfort for extended sessions. This refined surface texture provides consistent traction in all conditions without being overly aggressive.

A precision-grooved centerline seamlessly integrates across both folding sections, flowing into a subtle raised kick tail. The clean, strap-free deck design follows downwind board philosophy, providing unrestricted foot placement and maximum flexibility for stance adjustments. This unified design ensures optimal control while allowing riders to adapt their position for varying conditions and riding styles.

The Waka Glide features an optimized foil position that places the mast track further forward while maintaining a centered rider stance. This innovative design significantly reduces swing weight during turns and transitions, while the balanced volume distribution enhances control and responsiveness. The result is a more intuitive riding experience with effortless maneuverability, whether you're carving waves or cruising in light winds.

Your Waka Glide comes complete with our premium insulated bag, featuring 10-12mm of protective padding. This purpose-built carry system keeps your board safe during transport and storage while maintaining the portability of the folding design. The zippered pouch on the side holds your bolts and spare, along with your included tool. The insulated construction protects your board from temperature extremes, perfect for car trips or boat storage, and integrates seamlessly with the Rolling Waka for bigger adventures.
